Training to Run

This may bore anyone reading this but I'm going to write it cause its about ME and this is MY Blog!  Eight years ago I was in a car accident and broke my Right thigh bone in half. Since then I have not been able to RUN.  I had been walking and running for the past 25 or so years and I have to do what?? Learn to walk again!!! What a Hard thing for me to wrap my mind around. I will never forget the first time I got out of the hospital bed to sit in a potty chair next to my bed and could hardly move any part of my body especially my legs. My left leg was badly bruised. I lost  alot of muscle in my Right leg due to the way it broke. To fix the break I ended up with a metal rod inside my leg from my hip to my knee.  During weather changes Its True I hurt more.. NO lie.. I can feel a difference. In middle school I ran track my 8th grade year.. Loved running but I was the second slowest on my team :)  Its OK.. I did the best I could. I knew the others were better than me and I was OK with that. I just loved running! I also played soccer my 8th and 9th grade year. Again, I sucked at that that sport to. Hey at least I tried right! The summer after graduating High school I went to the track at the middle school and ran alot.  I loved to run when I was stressed!! Lately I have thought of the time I spent on that track at Delay Middle school and sometimes wish I could go back in time and be that young girl again with out a broken leg. My goal is to run in an organized race for some good cause sometime next year. Right now I cant run more than 2 mins with out feeling like my leg is going to give out.
So what I have to do is build muscle up in my leg. Good thing is my husband has one of those huge weight machines that is buried in the garage under a bunch of junk. we are going to clean it off so I can use it. It will especially come in handy this winter when its to cold to run outside. I will blog about my progress from time to time.
